Coco Scene! McCartney Mills Divorce Settlement - 46.8 million!

By JILL LAWLESS

LONDON (AP) — A judge has awarded Heather Mills a total of $48.6 million in the financial settlement of her divorce from former Beatle Paul McCartney.

A document released by the Family Court says the judge awarded Mills a lump sum of $33 million plus assets she currently holds worth $15.6 million. Mills says she is "very happy" with the settlement.

From Pr-inside:
The court ruled that the couple's daughter should receive a «periodical payments order» of 35,000 pounds (around US$70,000 or €45,000) a year. On top of that, McCartney will pay for the child's nanny and school fees.


The settlement has been a long time coming for the couple, who separated two years ago, after four years of marriage. At the time they said the parting was «amicable» and insisted «both of us still care about each other very much.
But the split has grown fractious since McCartney filed for divorce alleging his wife's «unreasonable behavior.
Mills claimed McCartney failed to protect her and their daughter from slander, death threats and other abuse, and accused the media of persecuting her. In November, Mills said she had been «treated worse than a murderer or a pedophile,» despite years of work for land mine victims and animal welfare charities.

When a woman continually speaks of charity work ... and what they will give charity...using money from someone else's fortune as she is assured of a salaried nanny for her 1 child... well... let us just say... certain words come to mind.. gold digger..sad......never Coco.

Coco Scene! Katherine McPhee Married!

from upi.com:
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Pop singer Katharine McPhee has married her producer boyfriend, Nick Cokas, in Beverly Hills, Calif., People magazine reported.

The "American Idol" star's representative confirmed to People that the 23-year-old singer had married her 42-year-old boyfriend Saturday at the Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church.

McPhee, who was the runner-up on the fifth season of the hit Fox reality series, told People her wedding was the perfect occasion.

"(Nick) is the love of my life," McPhee said. "This is a once in a lifetime occasion and everything is just perfect."

The couple met in 2005 while working on a Los Angeles theater production of "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir." They went from being just friends to becoming romantically involved -- and became engaged last year after Cokas proposed with a custom-designed engagement ring, People said.

This is all kinds of strange... makes us think of Mariah Carey's first marriage to Tommy Mottola...Mariah was 24 and Tommy was 43...

Good luck sweetie!

Toodles.

Coco Scene! Another One Bites the Dust... Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds Split

From the BBC:
Actor Eddie Murphy says he plans to "remain friends" with film producer Tracey Edmonds, two weeks after they had a "symbolic marriage" ceremony.

Murphy, 46, and Edmonds, 40, exchanged vows on New Year's Day on a private island in the South Pacific, but the celebration was not legally binding.

But reports in the US claim the couple have since split up.

In a statement, the couple said they had decided after "much consideration" not to have a formal ceremony.

They added it was "not necessary to define our relationship further".

But statement did not clarify whether the couple were continuing with their relationship.

'Deep love'

"While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative of our deep love, friendship and respect that we have for one another on a spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends," the statement said.

Murphy and Edmonds started their romance last year as Murphy argued with Spice Girls singer Melanie Brown's baby girl over the paternity of her baby girl.

The actor later acknowledged Angel Iris Murphy Brown was his daughter after a DNA test in June confirmed he was the father.

This was no real surprise, was it??

We certainly don't blame poor Tracey... being "just friends" is probably a safer route.

Toodles!
